First formed at the end of 1984 (Anders was 21), they unexpectedly became immensely popular with their standalone disco hit "You're My Heart, You're My Soul", which was then followed by "You Can Win If You Want" and "Cheri, Cheri Lady". They released two albums a year from 1985 to 1987 while also promoting their singles on television all over Europe. After splitting up in 1987, the duo reunited in 1998, at first only testing the waters with new versions of hit singles and again reaching the top of the charts unexpectedly. Bohlen and Anders split again in 2003 due to irreconcilable disagreements (they had never been friends in the first place). Thomas Anders started another solo career immediately, while Bohlen had by now begun devoting most of his time to new talents, especially those he discovered on the German edition of the TV show Pop Idol/American Idol.
Global sales of Modern Talking records were 120 million units, according to BMG in June 2003, and they have become the biggest-selling German music act in history, so far outselling even Frank Farian's projects Boney M and Milli Vanilli, Michael Cretu's Enigma, Sandra, the Scorpions, Snap! and Rammstein.
Modern Talking were successful in Europe, Asia, South America and some African countries. In the United Kingdom they reached the top ten only once with the song "Brother Louie" (in 1986, #4 UK). They did not feel very good about promoting their singles there due to being marketed in England as a gay group like Erasure and Culture Club. Indeed, in the UK "Brother Louie" is regarded by those who remember it as nothing more than a novelty record by a one-hit wonder.
They were almost unknown in North America by mainstream standards, never appearing in the charts there, and due to lack of backing from a record company and lack of time did not go there to promote their music. Composer Dieter Bohlen employed mood-evoking lyrics and intellectually-designed, synthesizer-based music which was out of vogue in the U.S. before Modern Talking even formed.
In 2006 Bohlen included a secret message in his song "Bizarre Bizarre" which was played backwards: "There will never be an end to Modern Talking". However, Bohlen said "he meant to say that the music of Modern Talking will live forever" [4]. Anders has kept the Modern Talking songs in his repertoire and produced songs in a similar vein for his solo records ("Independent Girl"). In 2006 he produced an album of Swing and Jazz versions of popular songs (including Modern Talking's first hit). Bohlen has written two autobiographical books, one of which also detailed Modern Talking's history from his perspective, and sold a million copies in Germany. The sequel was heavily criticised for his unfairness towards the people he worked with. As a result of that, he withdrew from the public for a year until 2006, when he said he regretted putting out the second book. Anders had not been the only one pressing charges against Bohlen and demanding that sections of the book be modified.
Don't Play With My Heart
Modern Talking Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't play with my heart
You can stop my heart
Love is here and now you're gone
Oh please, don't tear apart
Baby, I am so alone
We're looking on the same stars
What have I done to you, lady
Oh, wherever you are, please come back soon
Can't you see I'm waiting for you
Oh, don't play with my heart
Don't do that again
If you tear it apart, I cannot be your friend
Don't play with my heart
Again and again
If you tear it apart
How this love will end
Don't play (playing tricks with my heart) don't play (playing tricks with my heart) don't play (playing tricks with my heart) don't play (playing tricks with my heart)
Oh, you know it's true
I gave you every single day
Now, it's up to you
Baby, please don't go away
Oh, we'll find paradise
And we'll loose it all
What have I done to you, lady
Don't tell me no lies
Just give me a call
Can't you see I'm waiting for you
The lyrics of Modern Talking's song "Don't Play with my Heart" express the pain and desperation of a person whose heart has been broken. The singer begs his lover not to hurt him again, as he has already experienced the agony of losing her once. The opening line of the song, "Don't play, don't play with my heart" sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics, as the singer pleads for his lover to not toy with his emotions anymore.
The song goes on to describe how the singer is devastated by the loss of his lover, and how he is willing to do anything to win her back. The image of the same stars and moon that both the singer and his lover see serves to highlight the sense of longing and connection that he feels for her. He pleads with her to come back into his life and not leave him alone, as he cannot bear the pain of being without her.
The chorus of the song, with its repetitive refrain of "don't play with my heart," emphasizes the singer's desperation and his unwillingness to face another heartbreak. The song closes by expressing the singer's hope that he and his lover will be able to reconcile and find a way back to each other.
